Excerpt: In January 1968, General Lucius D. Clay was quoted by the Press as having told the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee that ?no future commander is going to fight a war with the weapons of one service.?? This statement was made against a background of suggestions by other responsible and well-informed persons that our defense forces be reorganized so as to provide more ?unified commands,? composed of land, sea, and air units. These views impliedly give recognition to the fact that the joint force has time and again proved to be an effective device for getting something done better by utilizing the combined efforts of components of two or more of the Armed Forces, and they portend that more joint forces may come into being.
